Global warming?

-

It puts common sense to the test to believe in global warming in the midst of freezing weather such as we are experienci­ng. In fact, the challenge is sufficient to persuade us that maybe President Trump isn’t wrong in being an environmen­tal sceptic.

The issue resembles the flat earth believers versus Galileo, what was first-hand and apparently real as opposed to what was theoretica­l. Great chunks of ice crashing into polar seas are there on our TV screens.

Whatever extra heat is said to be making that happen, however, isn’t making you and I feel any warmer, is it?
